Hey everyone, hope its all going good I was just wondering if anyone else has specific songs that mean something, remind them of an event or person, or in any other way are special to them. Ive got a few: The entire Dangerous (Michael Jackson) album and the Best of Beegees album reminds me af a 6 months trip my family took and those were the only two cassettes we had. I'll Bet He Was Cool and Two Beds and a Coffee Machine (Savage Garden) remind me of Kairos Retreat I Don't Want To Miss A Thing (Aerosmith) is my year levels (unofficial) year-level theme song, so that reminds me of Year Twelve, particularly the formal (When that song played, the entire year level stood up and sang it) The Timewarp reminds me of my best friends, particularly the night we went and saw Rocky Horror Picture Show in an open air cinema and we were the only ones that got up and did the Timewarp in front of everyone else So, yeah, anyone else have songs that remind them of certain things?
I like to listen to the song I Miss You by Blink 182 when someone dies. Years ago whenever I felt sad I listened to Hold On by Good Charlotte. ... Yes I was emo. -.-
toxic remind me of my hot crush. we dance on our roadtrip on a BUS. yup, we transform a tour bus to a hot sexy club. too bad hes str8...
I have two. "Elton's Song" by Elton John (from his 1980 album "The Fox"). At the time I was about 17 and had a major crush on a boy that I saw at the railway station every week when I was going to college. The song is about a boy in a boarding school who has a crush on an older boy. Although the circumstances were different, the mood and feeling in the lyrics summed up exactly how I felt at the time. Sitting in my room I've got it bad Crying for the moon - they think I'm mad I would give my life for a single night Beside you. "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandross. I first heard this song not long after my father died in November 2002. Although I never danced with my father, this song seemed to fit the way I was feeling, and even more so the way my mum was feeling. I know I'm praying for much too much, But could you send The only man she loved. I know you don't do it usually, But dear Lord she's dying, To dance with my father again.
the song that is my song and my life is "Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty. When my mom was pregnant with me in the early 90's this song was a hit. it was her favorite song at the time. she played it all the time. then when i was born she rocked me to sleep on it. i wouldn't go to sleep otherwise. then when i was a little kid my dad was always playing it and i danced to it. then when i was older and sorta forgot about it my dad put it on a mixed CD and i loved it. it was strangely familiar. time went on and i got an ipod and was relistening to all of my old mixed CD and was playing loudly and loved it. then my mom retold me the story of how she first heard it and rocked me to sleep on it. its been a personal hit to me and is very inspiring. my whole life i've wished i could fly and when i'm older i'm going to get wings tattooed on my back. hence the whole Angel thing with me. I can almost cry when i listen to it. the music video suxs so i'm not going to link to it but here's the lyrics:Well it started out Learning to Fly by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Well it started out Down a dirty road. Started out All alone. And the sun went down As I crossed the hill. And the town lit up, And the world got still. I'm learnin' to fly, But I ain't got wings. Comin' down Is the hardest thing. Well the good ol' days May not return. And the rocks might melt, And the sea may burn. I'm learnin' to fly, But I ain't got wings. Comin' down Is the hardest thing. Well some say life Will beat you down, And break your heart, Steal your crown. So it started out For God-knows-where. I guess I'll know When I get there. I'm learning to fly Around the clouds. What goes up Must come down. I'm learnin to fly But I ain't got wings. Comin' down Is the hardest thing. I'm learnin' to fly Around the clouds. But what goes up Must come down. I'm learnin' to fly. I'm learnin' to fly. (and yes i started to cry rereading the lyrics. now i have to go listen to it!):tears: :lol:
Until The End by Breaking Benjamin and Inner Strength by Flaw They remind me that only I can change my present and make my future
yes the song cancer by my chem means alot to me .. because my bestfriend since i was 4 .. nikkie yea she has caner ... *tear* and every time i here it i think of her
The Show Must Go On by Queen - makes me think of myself. I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith - makes me think of the boyfriend I don't have.
for me, Flyleaf's "All around me" reminds me of God. also, Do As Infinity's "Shinjitsu No Uta" reminds me of how through suffering, there is still some hope.
Joni Mitchell's Parking Lot reminds me of the mountains. My family and I used to drive ~8 hours to my grandma's house, which took us through the Rocky Mountains (which, even though I live right next to them, I never get tired of seeing). For some bizarre reason, that song seemed to play on the radio all the time on that trip. Journey's Don't Stop Believing reminds me of Europe. My friend and I, when we got bored, would sing it at the top of our lungs in some of the strangest places.
"Diamonds on the soles of her shoes" by Paul Simon and Lady Smith Black Mombazo reminds me of my dad and a car journey. I dont remember when or where but thats what the song reminds me of.
I personally Love Mad World, by Gary Jules....it makes me feel...something. there's not a word I can think of to describe it.
I also love that song. I know what you mean, too, about it making you feel something. It's like sadness, but also emptiness, well at least that's how it is with me. It's amazing to hear the original and I LOVE the Ben MacKenzie version
i like will you still love me tomorrow, amy winehouse's version. i had a great night out about two years ago with my best friend, and everything was PERFECT! but it didn't really last. so that's my song
Time by Pink Floyd I'm only 22 and yet this song is full of meaning for me. When I was younger I'd play video games and watch TV all day and still be bored. These past few years have sucked up nearly every ounce of free time I have. Multiple jobs and school and a whole pile of backlogged stuff to do one day whenever I get some free time. "And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun but it's sinking. Racing around to come up behind you again" It couldn't be more true.
